Pottery - popular and often used

Pottery is the technical term for all ceramic ware which is made by potters from the raw material clay. Pottery, porcelain and ceramics products are made for indoor usage in kitchen wares, tiles and for sanitary. However, also outdoor pottery exists, for example for as garden pottery for potted plants, for outside tiles or for ceramic pottery statues.

Handmade pottery or industrially processed pottery is made of the raw material clay. This material is then formed in the desired shape – pottery vases, figurines, cups, bowls or jars. The next step is the heating of the shaped raw objects in a kiln. This process hardens the material and the objects’ shapes. This makes the items more robust.

In the pottery industry, it is very common to mix the raw material clay with other ingredients, for example minerals. This changes the look of the pottery products and tailors the design to specific customer requirements, for example gives them the look of old time pottery, Greek pottery or Italian pottery such as terracotta.

Although making pottery is a very old handicraft using tools such as hands, the potter's wheel, shaping and cutting tools, it is more and more common for an industrial potter or pottery wholesalers to use machines.
